Prudential plc Investor Conference 2011 - "Growth and Cash - 2"

Prudential plc ("Prudential") is holding an investor conference in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia on 15 -17 November 2011. During this three-day event Prudential will update investors and analysts on progress towards the Group’s 2013 “Growth and Cash” objectives. These objectives, announced at last year’s investor conference on 1 December 2010 in London, include doubling 2009 Asian new business profit and 2009 Asian IFRS operating profit as well as increasing net cash remittances from the Group’s business units.

The presentations will cover in detail Prudential’s large and rapidly developing Asian business, which is key to the Group’s growth strategy. Participants will also be given an update on Prudential’s US business Jackson National Life and have Q&A sessions on Prudential’s UK Life and M&G units.

Commenting on the investor conference Group Chief Executive Tidjane Thiam said:

“We are delighted to welcome investors and analysts to our 2011 conference in Kuala Lumpur. The conference will allow us to highlight the scale of our operations in Asia and the potential for our business to grow profitably in the region. Attendees will have the opportunity to interact in depth with the management of our Asia operations as well as the senior leadership of the Group’s other business units.”
